If you haven’t heard of it, it is the awesome game created by Markus “Notch” Persson. Its really incredible what this one guy did in a pretty short amount of time. The game is fun and incredibly deep and complicated. I have also read that he makes something like 300,000 dollars a day off of it.

Anyway, what is cool about Minecraft is that you can build up your own virtual world. What stinks is, building that world takes a long time. I’ve been playing the game at home a lot but also play it at work during lunch sometimes. Starting off a new world wasn’t a prospect I was looking forward to. So what did I do? I set up my games to sync my world with Dropbox. This lets me build up my awesome pyramid at home as well as at work.

I was going to write up a tutorial on how I did it but I found this great writeup on the Minecraft Wiki about how to do it.
